The Prophecies Concerning Jesus Christ Part 2 | The Abrahamic Covenant

Between Genesis 16 and Genesis 17 , thirteen years have passed. Abram was 86 years old when last we read about him; today as we read about Abram, he’s 99 years old. As we’ve seen already in this study through the life of Abram, God is in no hurry. I argue this is cause for assurance , though some would…

As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.” He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not. Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been…
